Stocks Move Higher on Upbeat Economic News

An unexpected jump in durable goods orders allayed yesterday’s fears that the economy may be set to see darker days, and an unexpected jump in consumer sentiment and a smaller-than-expected drop in new home sales added to the upbeat mood, which is sending stocks higher.

In midmorning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 27.84, or 0.25 percent, to 11,377.13. The Dow, which fluctuated in early trading, fell more than 280 points Thursday.

Broader stock indicators also rose. The Standard & Poor's 500 index advanced 3.01, or 0.24 percent, to 1,255.55, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 13.10, or 0.57 percent, to 2,293.21.

Bond prices moved lower as investors were expected to shift back into stocks. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, rose to 4.05 percent from 4.00 percent from late Thursday.

The dollar was higher against other major currencies, while gold prices rose.

A barrel of light sweet crude fell $1.91 to $123.58 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The oil market has been taken lower by the belief that flagging fuel demand can't justify recent high prices.
